The broad-specificity amino acid racemase (Bsar) from Pseudomonas putida catalyzes the racemization of various amino acids, offering a flexible and feasible platform to develop a new non-antibiotic selectable marker system for plant transformation. In the present study, we demonstrated that a Bsar variant, Bsar-R174K, that is useful as a selectable marker gene in Arabidopsis and rice that were susceptible to l-lysine and D-alanine. The introduction of wild-type Bsar, Bsar-R174K or Bsar-R174A into E. coli lysine or asparagine auxotrophs was able to rescue the growth of these microorganisms in minimal media supplemented with selectable amino acid enantiomers. The transformation of Arabidopsis with Bsar or Bsar variants based on d-alanine selection revealed that Bsar-R174K had the greatest efficiency (2.40%), superior to kanamycin selectionbased transformation (1.10%). Whereas, l-lysine-based selection exhibited lower efficiency for Bsar-R174K (0.17%). The progenies of selected Bsar-R174K transgenic Arabidopsis revealed normal growth properties. In addition, Bsar-R174K transgenic rice was obtained on l-lysine medium with an efficiency of 0.9%, and the progenies of the transgenic rice revealed morphologically normal phenotypes comparable with their wild-type counterparts. This study presents the first report of broad range amino acid racemase Bsar-R174K as a non-antibiotic selectable marker system applied in transgenic plants.

Hyperbranched polyamidoamine (HPAMAM) polymers, chemically analogous to the commercially available PAMAM dendrimer, were modified with isobutyric anhydride to result in isobutyramide (IBAm) terminated HPAMAMs (HPAMAM-IBAm). The aqueous solutions of HPAMAM-IBAm polymers had the lower critical solution temperature (LCST). The lower molecular-weight HPAMAM-IBAm exhibited higher LCST and the LCST difference was around 18 oC for one pseudo-generation variation. Further, the hyperbranched thermoresponsive polymers exhibited much lower LCSTs than the corresponding dendrimers with similar molecular weight. The LCST of HPAMAM-IBAm was pH sensitive. At pH below 10, the LCST increased significantly upon decreasing the pH,whereas, at pH above 10, the LCST decreased slowly with an increasing pH value. Nine sodium salts were used to measure the anion effect on the LCST of HPAMAM-IBAm. It was found that the LCST could also be modulated up or down in a broad range by simply adding a small amount of different kinds of inorganic anions. The specific ranking of inorganic anions in salting-out HPAMAM4-IBAm polymer was in accordance with the well-known Hofmeister series.

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the main causes of cancer death, and drug resistance is the leading reason for therapy failure. However, how this occurs is largely unknown. We therrfore aimed to study the response of DU145 cells to cisplatin. Materials and Methods: Du145 prostate cancer cells were treated with a low dose of cisplatin for 24 h and cell viability and number were determined by MTT assay and trypan blue exclusion assay, respectively. The real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to assess responses to cisplatin treatment. Results: After 24h $2{\mu}g/ml$ treatment did not result in significant reduction in cell viability or number. However, it led to enhanced cancer cell invasiveness. E-cadherin mRNA was reduced, and vimentin, Snail, Slug, metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) mRNA expression increased significantly, a feature of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Conclusions: Short time low concentration cisplatin treatment leads to elevated invasiveness of DU145 cancer cells and this is possibly due to EMT.
Enhancing the penetration stability of plasma jet in liquid by improving the chamber structure
Yi Liu,Yonggang Yu,Shanshan Mang 한국물리학회 2019 Current Applied Physics Vol.19 No.9
Two kinds of chamber structures were designed to improve the penetration stability of plasma jet in the working fluid. They are the cone-truncated chamber with an inclined wall structure and the stepped-wall chamber with an abrupt expanding structure. Based on the experiment, the penetration characteristics of plasma jet in liquid were investigated by the numerical calculation, especially the multiphase flow field structure and the jet penetration stability. In the cone-truncated chamber, the arc-like pressure wave does not evolve into the plane wave like the wave evolution rule in the traditional cylindrical chamber, and an alternating structure of arc-like wave and the plane wave is formed in the stepped-wall chamber. The stability control of stepped wall is more significant than that of inclined wall because the low-pressure vortex formed at the corner of step enhances the radial induction effect. Besides, the stepped-wall structure can restrain the moving randomness of the big vortex's core. The axial expansion speed of plasma jet in the ambient fluid is decreased exponentially and the speed estimation formula was obtained in this work.
Robust Ultrasound Multigate Blood Volume Flow Estimation
Yi Zhang,Jinkai Li,Xin Liu,Dong Chyuan Liu 한국정보처리학회 2019 Journal of information processing systems Vol.15 No.4
Estimation of accurate blood volume flow in ultrasound Doppler blood flow spectrograms is extremelyimportant for clinical diagnostic purposes. Blood volume flow measurements require the assessment of boththe velocity distribution and the cross-sectional area of the vessel. Unfortunately, the existing volume flowestimation algorithms by ultrasound lack the velocity space distribution information in cross-sections of avessel and have the problems of low accuracy and poor stability. In this paper, a new robust ultrasound volumeflow estimation method based on multigate (RMG) is proposed and the multigate technology provides detailinformation on the local velocity distribution. In this method, an accurate double iterative flow velocityestimation algorithm (DIV) is used to estimate the mean velocity and it has been tested on in vivo data fromcarotid. The results from experiments indicate a mean standard deviation of less than 6% in flow velocitieswhen estimated for a range of SNR levels. The RMG method is validated in a custom-designed experimentalsetup, Doppler phantom and imitation blood flow control system. In vitro experimental results show that themean error of the RMG algorithm is 4.81%. Low errors in blood volume flow estimation make the prospect ofusing the RMG algorithm for real-time blood volume flow estimation possible.

<P>Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) IV inhibitors are probably beneficial for preventing diabetic complication and modulating glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) expression. The aim of this study was to determine whether the DPP IV inhibitor LAF237 (vildagliptin) has renoprotective qualities in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Diabetic and nondiabetic rats were treated with an oral dose of 4 or 8 mg/kg/day LAF237 or placebo for 24 weeks, and renal injury was observed by light and electron microscopy. We also assessed DPP IV activity, active GLP-1 level, cAMP and 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine excretion, and GLP-1R, cleaved caspase 3, and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) expression. LAF237 significantly decreased proteinuria, albuminuria, and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, improved creatinine clearance, and dose-dependently inhibited interstitial expansion, glomerulosclerosis, and the thickening of the glomerular basement membrane in diabetic rats. It is noteworthy that LAF237 markedly down-regulated DPP IV activity and increased active GLP-1 levels, which probably prevented oxidative DNA damage and renal cell apoptosis by activating the GLP-1R and modulating cAMP. Renoprotection was also associated with a reduction in TGF-β1 overexpression. Our study suggests that DPP IV inhibitors may ameliorate diabetic nephropathy as well as reduce the overproduction of TGF-β1. The observed renoprotection is probably attributable to inhibition of DPP IV activity, mimicking of incretin action, and activation of the GLP-1R.</P>

A miR-155–Peli1–c-Rel pathway controls the generation and function of T follicular helper cells
Liu, Wen-Hsien,Kang, Seung Goo,Huang, Zhe,Wu, Cheng-Jang,Jin, Hyun Yong,Maine, Christian J.,Liu, Yi,Shepherd, Jovan,Sabouri-Ghomi, Mohsen,Gonzalez-Martin, Alicia,Xu, Shunbin,Hoffmann, Alexander,Zheng, The Rockefeller University Press 2016 The Journal of experimental medicine Vol.213 No.9
<P>MicroRNA (miRNA) deficiency impairs the generation of T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, but the contribution of individual miRNAs to this phenotype remains poorly understood. In this study, we performed deep sequencing analysis of miRNAs expressed in Tfh cells and identified a five-miRNA signature. Analyses of mutant mice deficient of these miRNAs revealed that miR-22 and miR-183/96/182 are dispensable, but miR-155 is essential for the generation and function of Tfh cells. miR-155 deficiency led to decreased proliferation specifically at the late stage of Tfh cell differentiation and reduced CD40 ligand (CD40L) expression on antigen-specific CD4<SUP>+</SUP> T cells. Mechanistically, miR-155 repressed the expression of Peli1, a ubiquitin ligase that promotes the degradation of the NF-κB family transcription factor c-Rel, which controls cellular proliferation and CD40L expression. Therefore, our study identifies a novel miR-155–Peli1–c-Rel pathway that specifically regulates Tfh cell generation and function.</P>
